Nottingham Forest boss Aitor Karanka says he is not concerned by having dropped out of the Championship play-off places over the weekend.

The Reds had moved into the top six for the first time this term thanks to their 2-0 victory at Middlesbrough before the international break, but Saturday’s 2-1 defeat at home to Norwich City saw them fall back down to ninth place.

They will get the chance to bounce straight back on Wednesday evening, when they travel to face Bolton Wanderers, who are down in 18th.

It remains tight at the top of the table, with just six points separating Forest from joint-leaders Middlesbrough and Sheffield United, and the sixth-placed Canaries only two points ahead.
